Earlier this week, Doritos Spain, which is a subsidiary of PepsiCo, announced its partnership with transgender influencer Samantha Hudson. After the announcement, old tweets from Hudson resurfaced linking him to many pedophilic and rapist thoughts. Doritos Spain has now decided to end the partnership with Hudson.
Why these companies don’t research people they’re hiring before they hire them is beyond me, but at least they’re doing something about it now!
Doritos shot itself in the foot after partnering with Hudson. Critics called the partnership a disaster waiting to happen and compared it to the failure that Bud Light became after partnering up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney last year.
Hudson's pedophilic tendencies are highlighted in his past tweets.
“I want to do depraved things, like stick a 12-year-old girl up my ass,” he tweeted once.
Other tweets, which were translated using Google Translate, read:
- “If a minor came up to me to ask for help because she was a victim of sexual harassment, I would spit in her face.”
- “In the middle of the street in Mallorca, in panties and shouting that im a nymphomanic in front if a super nice 8-year-old girl.”
- “I cry with laughter at videos of bullying that ends in suicide.”
- “I just ran my tongue through my little cousin’s vagina and she smiled at me. The little ones also deserve pleasure.”
It took the internet like 20 seconds to find proof that Hudson is a pedophile, yet Doritos seemed to be shocked by the news.
Here’s what the company said in a statement to Rolling Stone:
We recently created a content series with Samantha Hudson, a local influencer. After the campaign started, we were made aware of Samantha’s deleted Tweets from around 2015.
We have ended the relationship and stopped all related campaign activity due to the comments. We strongly condemn words or actions that promote violence or sexism of any kind.
The video of Hudson promoting the chips has been deleted from Doritos Spain’s Instagram.
Funnily enough, Rolling Stone insisted that the breakup with Hudson was forced by “the right,” like it had done with Bud Light. Sorry, but people don’t want to buy from brands who support pedophiles. Is that wrong? Apparently, it is to Rolling Stone.
Honestly, nobody planned to boycott Doritos because Hudson thinks he's a girl. People planned to boycott the company, because Hudson formerly posted pedophilic tweets and comments, and Doritos - at the time - didn’t seem to care.
I wonder if Doritos reversed their decision before they inevitably succumb to the “get woke, go broke” slogan. I guess time will tell!
